Hi there! You're incredibly close here. The problem is that you're trying to display the firstName of the contacts list. But that list has many people each with their own first name. For the purpose of this challenge, it doesn't really matter, but you've misspelled "contact" as "contatct". Now the variable contatct hold the individual contact you are currently looking at. So to get the firstName of that individual you would need to use ${contatct.firstName}.

I hope this helps, but let me know if you're still stuck! :sparkles:
